Green Initiatives

Climate change is increasingly recognized as a major challenge, and it is widely accepted that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by human activity are having a negative impact on the environment. This subject remains a hot topic across the media. People are increasingly concerned about the environment, their quality of life, and the impact of environmentally-friendly products and services.

Local government and businesses proactively promote green initiatives in their communities, in order to address the informed demands of the public. The parking industry has a role to play in this green culture, and calculating one’s carbon footprint is the logical first step in a program to reduce these emissions!

Concern for the environment is becoming more prevalent in the parking industry and GOPARK is a pioneer where parking and the environment is concerned. GOPARK is now following the lead of the Carbon Trust – a government-funded body whose mission is to accelerate the shift toward a low-carbon economy by working with organizations to reduce their current carbon emissions as well as develop low carbon technologies for the future. Some of GOPARK’S green initiatives include:

Actively working alongside their manufacturing partner Parkeon, and with the Carbon Trust to evaluate and reduce their carbon footprint. Today 95% of our Pay & Displays installed in the United States and Canada are solar powered which saves enough electricity to run one average single dwelling home for eight months.

Encouraging Property and Facility Managers to install electric charging stations at all garages.
